Today’s focus: Forest school

Today, a group of children headed to Forest School! During the session, they learnt about the Ash tree, using their senses to explore what it looked, felt and smelt like. They also got creative, painting on a giant sheet using natural materials such as beetroot and turmeric to create vibrant colours. The children experimented with leaf printing, comparing the different patterns and textures they made and used chalk to decorate the textured tree bark.

In the mud kitchen they made lots of recipes including mud cupcakes before heading off on a bug hunt, where they were very excited to discover a caterpillar!
